Don’t expect any strategic, Tekken-like gameplay out of Facefighter; that’s not what it’s all about. Every round is an all-out slugfest where fighters tend to (and probably should) avoid the block button altogether.
The coolest thing about Facefighter is that it allows you to import headshots from your photo library and create your own opponents. You simply choose a photo (or snap one on the spot with your iPhone), size it, and you’re ready to go. Pictured above is my nephew Noah moments away from yet another kick to his already jacked-up grill.
You have a bunch of traditional Kung Fu moves in your repertoire - from “head smash with pipe-wrench” to “Three Stooges-style eye gouge.” Sharp and silly sound effects also contribute to the savage fun.
You likely won’t find yourself in any serious or competitive battles, but it’s a blast just to whale on a friend or relative for a few minutes. And I can’t test it myself, but I suspect Facefighter could be a useful tool in picking up girls at the bar. One of you single guys can perform an experiment and post the results in the comments section.
If there’s one thing missing, it’s support for head-to-head bouts over WiFi. But even without it, I have a feeling that Facefighter is going to be one of those staple apps that you can find on just about every iPhone.
Get Facefighter.
